Buying a repossessed property in the UK can be simple. Firstly when a borrower falls into arrears with their mortgage and no solution can be found it is sometimes necessary for the lender to repossess that property. When a lender repossesses a property they have a dual responsibility to act fairly towards the former owner and to seek a sale quickly, so that the arrears do not continue to rise. This certainly does not mean that lenders are likely to sell a property it half price, but it does mean that there are potential bargains to be had if you, as a purchaser are in a position to act quickly.

The reason for this is that the bank?s primary intention is to recoup the outstanding loan amount (the balance is paid to the previous owner minus any costs).
